I had a 2002 S60 AWD that I regrettably sold this summer. If you live around snow and ice, get the AWD. They are nice and powerful, my wife loved it. So now I'm looking at an S60R for the AWD and the power. I think we will both be happy.

Thanks for the advice guys. I agree that no way would I do it myself. I have seen plenty of those bubbly jobs around. It's worth it to spend the money.

tinted windows

Has anyone had the windows tinted? I just saw it on a 2.4T and it looked really good. My daughter has been after me to get it done for months. Now I see she was right about how good it looks. Any cautions?

Hey Mick how are you? I just discovered this site, not bad for information. The Vovo market has not been moving at all in Montana.
Take care, Carlos

I have to agree that improving your suspension and tires are the best place to start. It's a lot sexier to upgrade ECU's, add turbos etc. But without good to great tires and an upgraded suspension and exhaust you are not taking full advantage. I'm upgrading my swaybars then exhaust on my T5 next. Th...

One update on the "fix", first it really works. The other is that my T5 is beastly now, I mean this car wants to go! Anyway it's fun again but like learning to drive a new Volvo, much more aggresive car.

Hi I was coming over Lookout Pass on the return from Spokane. That Jetta was taking it to the limit. What are you driving?

Hi Peter, I have used K & N filters on my vehicles and have always been satisfied with the results. It kicked ass on my old supercharged Riviera. I am going to put either the drop in or a CAI on my T5 soon. You have nothing to worry about using their products.

Just my two cents worth...Buy One! They are great cars despite all the complaints quoted here. I mean these are all real problems but these are really nice cars to drive. Maybe I have just been lucky but I have had my share of fixes but like my transmission mechanic says, "If it's got breasts o...

Successful ETM Fix!

Hello I am new here but really like this site. Anyway I just returned from an 8 hour round trip to the nearest Volvo dealer. My codes were uploaded and surprise; a radiator fan fix too. I was apprehensive about the dealer because I have heard way too many horror stories but everything went fine and ...
